Traditionally, it might be wine, cider, or a fancy cocktail—but this fall, there’s a new contender stealing the spotlight. Let us introduce you the perfect cup of cannabis tea.

Cannabis tea is quickly becoming a wellness staple for Millennials and Gen Z women seeking a calm, cozy ritual. Unlike alcohol, which can disrupt sleep, spike anxiety, or leave you groggy, cannabis-infused tea can provide a soothing, mindful experience. Its cannabinoids interact with your endocannabinoid system, helping to regulate mood, reduce stress, and create a gentle sense of calm—perfect for autumn evenings when Netflix and fuzzy socks are calling.
For those new to cannabis tea, there are two popular ways to brew it depending on your taste preference.
The Classic “Weedy” Brew
If you enjoy the signature earthy cannabis flavor, this is your go-to. Start by gently simmering 1 gram of decarboxylated cannabis in a cup of water with a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter (to help absorb cannabinoids). Let it steep for 15–20 minutes, strain, and sip slowly. The result is a robust, herb-forward tea with a calming buzz perfect for winding down after a hectic day.
The Light & Floral Option
Not a fan of the “weed” taste? You can soften it with complementary flavors like lemon, rose, or chamomile. Brew your cannabis with dried chamomile flowers, a slice of lemon, or a few rose petals. Add honey or your favorite natural sweetener. This version masks the cannabis flavor while keeping its calming effects, making it a chic, Instagram-worthy wellness drink.

Beyond taste, cannabis tea is versatile: you can enjoy it morning or night, hot or iced, solo or with friends. And unlike cocktails, it won’t leave you dehydrated or foggy—making it ideal for women balancing careers, social lives, and self-care routines.
As the season shifts, swapping a glass of wine for a cup of cannabis tea could become your new autumn ritual. It’s cozy, calming, and comforting—a simple way to sip your stress away while embracing the cooler months.
